Welcome to the GWTW Forum.Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post. If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

15 to 20g is good for most kites. That's the reange I stay in on all my standrad kites. ULs any where betwwen 5 to 10g but have tried more with good results. SULs 0 to 5g and vented kites 15 all the way up to 30-35g depending on winds and what I want to do.

When I received my Exile, I flew the kite about 5 times to get the feel with no weights. I then started adding weights. For my type of flying, I ended up using 3 weights on my STD (Nitro) and one weight on the UL.

Of course, our style of flying are probably not the same. Just flying the kite with different weights and you will find what is best for you.

Good luck, and have fun with the Exile. It is a great kite with a lot of capabilities.

King, I think I saw you post your kite on the BM forum, it's an UL correct? While neon colors aren't usually my cup of tea, I must admit it looks pretty darn nice. Start out flying your Exile with no weight, get a good feel for that, then add. I fly my UL with one weight, the 5g. seems to just help everything giving it a tad more mass, yet it's still floaty. Enjoy that kite, it's a great one!
